Unleash Your Inner Ziggy Stardust in Starfield: Unprecedented Player Creation!

Highlights

Starfield players have been impressively recreating famous characters, with one player successfully recreating David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona.

In Starfield, the character creation feature provides players with an unprecedented level of control to customize their appearance, surpassing the options available in previous Bethesda games.

Fans of Starfield have been actively sharing their character creation methods, offering screenshots and comprehensive guides to help others recreate iconic characters for themselves.

A Starfield player and avid David Bowie enthusiast successfully replicated the iconic Ziggy Stardust stage persona of the late artist in Bethesda's latest game. Their remarkable design accomplishment has been widely shared online, joining the collection of impressive Starfield character recreations that the fan community has been creating since September.

While Starfield provides players with a range of pre-made character options for a quick start to their epic space adventure without tedious customization, those who decide to dive deeper will discover an extensive character creator that surpasses the customization options of any other Bethesda game.

The versatility of this feature is once again exemplified by a recent case on Reddit. A user named SoullessVoid- successfully created a remarkable replica of Ziggy Stardust in Starfield. The protagonist's appearance bears a striking resemblance to the late musician's stage persona, with a pale complexion contrasting against a vibrant red mullet hairstyle. Although the Starfield character creator does not include Ziggy Stardust's iconic lightning flash makeup, the fan managed to find a red eyeshadow resembling the one Bowie frequently wore while in character.

Not only did SoullessVoid- accomplish this incredible feat, but they also meticulously documented each stage of their design process. They generously shared a collection of screenshots featuring appearance sliders and other settings, making it effortless for other players to recreate the renowned fictional character themselves.

While custom characters created in games that support them are commonly shared with accompanying how-to guides, this practice is particularly popular within the Starfield community. This is mainly due to the RPG's character creator tool, which offers a wide range of adjustable sliders known as "shape blends" in the game's terminology. However, these sliders can be quite confusing to use, often requiring a lot of trial and error to recreate specific appearances accurately.

Despite this user interface drawback, the player base has successfully created remarkably faithful in-game portrayals of both real and fictional characters. These include Starfield versions of well-known figures such as Willem Dafoe, Don Ramon, Tony Soprano, Chris Hadfield, and many others. With Starfield's player base already surpassing ten million people within two weeks of the game's release, it's highly likely that this trend of creative character recreations will continue to thrive.

Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
